Hot Waxes & Chill Prizes – A Fundraiser for the Chill Foundation
March 14 @ 5:00 pm
Hello Hood River Community!
We will be raising funds for the CHILL Foundation on Thursday, March 14th, from 5-8pm, at Kickstand & Evo. There will be a wax demo, a chance to donate for a wax on your board/skis, a raffle with epic prizes, drinks, food, and the opportunity to support an epic program with an epic mission!
So…..what is the CHILL Foundation?
Chill was founded in 1995 by Jake and Donna Carpenter, founders of Burton Snowboards, with the goal of inspiring youth to overcome challenges through boardsports. Working with participants from marginalized communities, Chill utilizes the experience of snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, and paddleboarding to frame life lessons that promote personal growth and supportive community for kids who may be struggling with negative circumstances that are holding them back. Chill is proud to offer programs in 20 cities in 9 countries throughout the world and participants range in age from 11-19 years old.
